Textile effluents are toxic and carcinogenic materials that exist in the aquatic environment. In this study, the degradation efficiency of commercially available scarlet red dye investigated on TSA-SS Electro Fenton process (EFP) was reported. It is of great interest in the field of environmental engineering to remove dyes from aquatic environment. The influence of operating parameters such as pH (2-9), current density (0.1-0.5 mA/cm2 ), concentration of dye (0.1-0.5 g/L), H₂O₂ (0.1-0.5 g/L) concentration and Fe²+ concentration (0.01-0.03 g/L) were analyzed by batch system. The optimum degradation conditions were determined as pH—3, current density-0.4 mA/cm² , concentration of dye—0.4 g/L, H2O2 concentration—0.5 g/L and Fe²+ concentration—0.025 g/L. These results indicated that the degradation efficiency of scarlet red dye by EFP depends on solution pH and Fenton reagent concentration and a low pH value was favorable for the dye degradation. It has been demonstrated that more than 94% dye removal was obtained at 50 min. Electro Fenton process was also investigated by cyclic voltammetry technologies.
